WOODEN CORES, j
NEW INDUSTRY,
PROGRESS SEEN
Dallas What might well be term
ed the infant industry of this city
is being operated at the present
time, by Randall BuelL The pro
duct is small wooden cores such as
are used in adding machine paper
rolls and others of a similar nature.
The bulk of the output is absorbed
meanwhile by the Western Paper
Converting Co. of Salem but hopes
are entertained that the market will
expand considerably in the future
making for a greater production,
and the installation of more ma
chines. The story of the plant is Interest
ing. It first came Into being at
Nashville about two and a half
years ago for the purpose of manu
facturing core ends for the large
size of paper rolls being more or
less of a rougher finish. Local con
ditions impelled Buell who by the
way not only Invented the machine
but also built it. to transfer his
activities to Dallas where condi
tions appeared more favorable for
his purpose. After a great deal of
experimenting numerous changes
were made which enabled the ma
chine to turn out a different class
of core and of a much better grade
with a range of different sizes.
The factory Is located at the foot
of Mill street immediately adjacent
to the J. J. Wicks planing mill.
From the rough lumber to the
finished product is a matter of sec
onds. Elder boards are first ripped
to the required dimensions by a
circular saw and then placed in
the "feed" for the core machine.
As the strip moves Into the machine
a drill moves swiftly in a lateral
direction In and out. As it with-
raraws a email circular saw cuts off
a piece the required length, an arm
moves the piece forward, to where
It Is slezed and turned, to drop a
moment later In a container placed
to recleve the finished article.
Production varies according to the
size of the core bit; for adding ma
chine rolls it runs as high as eight
thousand in eight hours. Buell is
working on a similar machine,
which will turn out reels for thread
In the same efficient and speedy
manner. A visit will prove both In
teresting and Instructive.

NELSON OFFERS
TEACHERS PLAN!
ON TEXT BOOKS
Suggestions for aiding their pupils
to secure books with a view to re
ducing the financial burden have
been made by Principal Emeritus J.
C. Nelson, head of the history de
partment at the high school, to his
history department teachers.
In the American history 3A class,
where the text-book has been
changed and the books have a re
tail price value of $2.12, Mr. Nelson
has made three suggestions: First,
that teachers either dispense with
the book entirely and present the
material direct to the class with the
pupils taking notes and preserving
them in organized form, supple
mented by library books: second,
that the first course suggested might
be modified by collecting and keep
ing In the room enough copies of
last year's text to accommodate each
pupil so that the whole burden of
presenting the subject would not fall
on the teacher but after presenting
a general outline, he would allow the
pupils to take the text and study It
for themselves; third, the plan pre
sented by Miss Mabel Robertson,
dean of girls, that a rental fee suf
ficient to buy enough books for -the
use of the largest class be collected
from the pupils with the books con
sidered as common property, the
smaller classes sharing in the ex
pense of the books and using tnem
so.
In American history 4A and In
European history 2 and 4 the pupils
will use the same texts as during
the past year. In European history
1 and 3. it is advocated by Mr. Nel
son that students endeavor to secure
their books through the used-book
exchange at the high school and that
all students no longer using nistory
books place them for sale on the ex
change. Students who desire to buy
their own new books or students who
wish to donate books to the history
department will, of course, be en
couraged to do so.
The history department Is the
first department in the high school
to take a decisive step in solving the
text book nroblem this year, al
though the English department has
had a rental system In several class
es. It Is considered probable that
other departments In the school will
follow the suggestions made by Mr.
Nelson, although that is up to the
department heads and students. Free
text books are not required by law
In the high school.

"If William Hanley Is in Calif

HIGH STREET LIGHT
DISTRICT PROPOSED
(Continued from page 1)
mitted to the people at a special
election In November, accompany
ing the mountain water issue on
the ballot If the latter Is submit
ted by the council, was introduced
at the last city council meeting by
Mayor P. M. Gregory.
The lighting amendment will pro
vide that property owners desiring
to form a district shall petition the
city council. If any of the property
owners are opposed they would
have the riht to present a remon
strating petition. The petition for
the district would describe ine
tvne of lights desired. The coun
cil would refer the petition to the
city planning and zoning commis
sion for approval as u type, tne
oblent In this being to n reserve un
iformity or system in ine type oi
lights used In the city.
Regardless of the number of sign
ers on a petition, and regardless
of whether there were any remon
strating nrorwrty owners, the city
council would in tne end have tne
right to do as It pleased about
granting the district. In this the
nlan would differ from street Im
provements, lor in tne paving oi
streets It Is mandatory that the
council approve If a majority of
the property Is represented on the
petition.
A district, according to the pro-
nosed act. might be only one side
of a street In a single block or It
might be both sides of the street
tn any number ot blocks. The
nrooerty benefitted would be bond
ed under the general lien dockets
of the city, the assessments pay
able in yearly Installments sim
ilarly as the Bancroft bonding plan
works. Bonds would be issued and
become general obligations of the
city, their security being the prop
erty within the lighting district.
The council would be required to
advertise In a local newspaper for
five days its intention to organize
a district and make the petitioned
lm movement.
It Is explained mat in voting
for the measure the voter will not
be voting to add a further burden
to the taxnavers m general, but will
only be voting to authorize the
property owners In the proposed
district to pay for the lighting of
their streets.
